Abstract

Carotenoid aggregates are used as coloring agents. Independent claims are also included for drinks as well as cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations containing carotenoid aggregates.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von Carotinoid-Aggregaten als Färbemittel.The invention relates to the use of carotenoid aggregates as a colorant.

Carotinoide sind eine in der Natur weit verbreitete Farbstoffklasse, die bereits in vielfältiger Form zum Färben von Lebensmitteln, Kosmetika und Non-Food-Artikeln eingesetzt werden. Die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten sind allerdings dadurch stark eingeschränkt, daß die Stoffgruppe der Carotinoide generell sehr licht- und sauerstoffempfindlich ist. In der Praxis müssen daher mit Carotinoiden gefärbte Zubereitungen beispielsweise durch Entgasen oder durch Aufbewahrung in lichtundurchlässigen Gefässen vor Licht und Sauerstoff geschützt werden.Carotenoids are a widely used class of dyes in nature, which are already in various forms for coloring food, Cosmetics and non-food items are used. However, the possible applications are severely limited that the group of carotenoids is generally very is sensitive to light and oxygen. In practice, therefore preparations colored with carotenoids, for example by degassing or by storing in opaque containers protected from light and oxygen.

Es war daher die Aufgabe, stabile Carotinoid-Formen als Färbemittel bereitzustellen, die die oben genannten Nachteile nicht aufweisen.It was therefore the task of using stable carotenoid forms as colorants to provide, which do not have the disadvantages mentioned above exhibit.

Diese Aufgabe wurde erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Verwendung von Carotinoid-Aggregaten als Färbemittel.This object has been achieved according to the invention through the use of carotenoid aggregates as colorants.

Die Aggregation von Carotinoiden ist ein in der Literatur bereits bekanntes und in zahlreichen Publikationen beschriebenes Phänomen [P. Song, T. A. Moore, Photochemistry and Photobiology, 19, 435-441 (1974); A. V. Ruban, P. Horton, A. J. Young, J. Photochem. Photobiol. B: Biol., 21, 229-234 (1993); U. R. Salares, H. H. Young, P. R. Carey, H. J. Bernstein, Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 6(6), 282-288 (1977)].The aggregation of carotenoids is already one in the literature well-known phenomenon described in numerous publications [P. Song, T.A. Moore, Photochemistry and Photobiology, 19, 435-441 (1974); A.V. Ruban, P. Horton, A.J. Young, J. Photochem. Photobiol. B: Biol., 21, 229-234 (1993); U. R. Salares, H.H. Young, P.R. Carey, H.J. Bernstein, Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 6 (6), 282-288 (1977)].

Carotinoid-Aggregate können beispielsweise dadurch erzeugt werden, daß man eine Lösung eines Carotinoids in einem wassermischbaren, organischen Lösungsmittel wie z.B. Isopropanol, Ethanol, Aceton oder Tetrahydrofuran mit Wasser vermischt.Carotenoid aggregates can be produced in this way, for example that a solution of a carotenoid in a water-miscible, organic solvents such as Isopropanol, Ethanol, acetone or tetrahydrofuran mixed with water.

So können, wie in der oben genannten Literatur beschrieben, bei Wahl der richtigen Mengenverhältnisse von Wasser und organischem Lösungsmittel entweder sogenannte H- oder J-Aggregate erzeugt werden.So, as described in the above literature, at Choosing the right proportions of water and organic Solvent generated either so-called H or J aggregates become.

Unter H-Aggregaten versteht man eine "kartenspielähnliche" Stapelung der Polyenketten (card-stack aggregate), die sich im UV/Vis-Spektrum durch das Auftreten einer neuen, im Vergleich zur Absorption der monomer vorliegenden Formen hypsochrom verschobenen Bande im Bereich zwischen 320 und 400 nm charakterisieren laßt. J-Aggregate dagegen stellen eine lineare Kopf-Schwanz Verknüpfung (head-tail aggregate) der Polyene dar, die eine bathochrome Verschiebung der UV-Absorption bewirkt.H-aggregates are understood as a "card game-like" Stacking of the poly-chains (card-stack aggregate), which are in the UV / Vis spectrum due to the appearance of a new, in comparison to absorb the monomeric forms hypsochromically shifted Characterize a band in the range between 320 and 400 nm leaves. J-aggregates, on the other hand, represent a linear head-tail Linking (head-tail aggregate) of the polyenes, the one bathochromic shift in UV absorption.

Diese Aggregate sind somit im Farbton von dem monomer gelösten Carotinoid verschieden und können sowohl visuell an dieser Farbverschiebung als auch UV/Vis-spektroskopisch erkannt werden.The color of these aggregates is thus detached from the monomer Carotenoid is different and can be seen both visually at this color shift as well as UV / Vis spectroscopic detection.

Es wurde nun überraschenderweise gefunden, daß diese CarotinoidAggregate bei Bestrahlung mit Licht, beispielsweise mit einer Xenonlampe, eine wesentlich höhere Lichtstabilität aufweisen als die in monomerer Form vorliegenden Carotinoide.It has now surprisingly been found that these carotenoid aggregates when irradiated with light, for example with a Xenon lamp, have a much higher light stability than the carotenoids present in monomeric form.

Aufgrund dieser ausgezeichneten Photostabilität eignen sich die Carotinoid-Aggregate hervorragend zum Färben von Lebensmitteln, kosmetischen und pharmazeutischen Zubereitungen sowie von Non-Food-Objekten, insbesondere von solchen Zubereitungen, bei denen der Farbstoff dem Licht ausgesetzt ist.Because of this excellent photo stability, the Carotenoid aggregates excellent for coloring food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations as well as non-food objects, in particular of those preparations in which the dye is exposed to light.

Als Färbemittel werden von den eingangs genannten CarotinoidAggregaten bevorzugt die H- und/oder J-Aggregate, besonders bevorzugt die J-Aggregate verwendet.The carotenoid aggregates mentioned at the beginning are used as coloring agents preferably the H and / or J aggregates, particularly preferably uses the J aggregates.

Die Carotinoide, die in Form von Aggregaten als Färbemittel eingesetzt werden können, sind die bekannten, natürlichen oder synthetischen Vertreter dieser Klasse, wie z.B. β-Carotin, Lycopin, Bixin, Zeaxanthin, Cryptoxanthin, Citranaxanthin, Lutein, Canthaxanthin, Astaxanthin. Besonders bevorzugt werden die mittlerweile auch technisch gut zugänglichen Vertreter wie β-Carotin, Astaxanthin oder Lycopin, insbesondere Astaxanthin und/oder Lycopin verwendet.The carotenoids, in the form of aggregates as colorants can be used are the known, natural or synthetic representatives of this class, e.g. β-carotene, Lycopene, bixin, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, citranaxanthin, Lutein, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin. Be particularly preferred the now technically easily accessible representatives such as β-carotene, astaxanthin or lycopene, especially astaxanthin and / or lycopene used.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung der Carotinoid-Aggregate als Färbemittel können diese allein oder vorteilhafterweise in Gegenwart von Schutzkolloiden eingesetzt werden.When using the carotenoid aggregates according to the invention as Colorants can do this alone or advantageously in the presence of protective colloids.

Als Schutzkolloide werden beispielsweise Gelatine, Fischgelatine, Stärke, Dextrin, Pflanzenproteine, Pektin, Gummi-Arabikum, Kasein, Kaseinat oder Mischungen davon verwendet. Es können aber auch Polyvinylalkohol, Polyvinylpyrrolidon, Methylcellulose, Carboxymethylcellulose, Hydroxypropylcellulose und Alginate eingesetzt werden. Bezüglich näherer Einzelheiten wird auf R.A. Morton, Fat Soluble Vitamins, Intern. Encyclopedia of Food and Nutrition, Bd.9, Pergamon Press 1970, S. 128-131, verwiesen. Protective colloids are, for example, gelatin, fish gelatin, Starch, dextrin, plant proteins, pectin, gum arabic, Casein, caseinate or mixtures thereof are used. But it can also polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, Carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and alginates be used. For more details, see R.A. Morton, Fat Soluble Vitamins, Intern. Encyclopedia of Food and Nutrition, Vol. 9, Pergamon Press 1970, pp. 128-131.

Beispiel 1example 1

Von einer molekularen Lösung von 50 mg Astaxanthin pro Liter Aceton wurden 5 ml mit 95 ml eines Gemisches aus 70 ml Wasser und 30 ml Aceton bei Raumtemperatur vermischt. Innerhalb von ca. 30 Minuten bildeten sich J-Aggregate, die durch einen Farbumschlag von orange nach rosa direkt sichtbar wurden. Bei 10 minütiger Bestrahlung dieser Aggregat-Lösung in einer Bestrahlungsapparatur (Suntest®, Fa. Heraeus) war keine Farbänderung zu beobachten. Wurde eine Vergleichslösung von molekular gelöstem Astaxanthin (2,5 ppm Astaxanthin in Aceton) unter gleichen Bedingungen bestrahlt, so war die Farbe nach 10 Minuten vollständig verschwunden.5 ml of a molecular solution of 50 mg of astaxanthin per liter of acetone were mixed with 95 ml of a mixture of 70 ml of water and 30 ml of acetone at room temperature. J-aggregates formed within approx. 30 minutes, which became directly visible through a color change from orange to pink. At 10 minutes of irradiation of this aggregate solution in an irradiation apparatus (sun test ®, Fa. Heraeus) no color change was observed. If a reference solution of molecularly dissolved astaxanthin (2.5 ppm astaxanthin in acetone) was irradiated under the same conditions, the color had completely disappeared after 10 minutes.

Anhand der vor und nach der Bestrahlung gemessenen UV/VisSpektren konnte die erhöhte Lichtstabilität der J-Aggregate von Astaxanthin gegenüber der monomeren Form verdeutlicht werden [siehe FIG. 1: (1) Astaxanthin Monomerform, vor der Bestrahlung; (2) Monomerform, nach der Bestrahlung; (3) Astaxanthin J-Aggregat, vor der Bestrahlung; (4) J-Aggregat, nach der Bestrahlung].Based on the UV / Vis spectra measured before and after the irradiation could the increased light stability of the J-aggregates of astaxanthin compared to the monomeric form become [see FIG. 1: (1) astaxanthin monomer form, before irradiation; (2) monomer form, after irradiation; (3) Astaxanthin J-aggregate, before irradiation; (4) J-aggregate, after irradiation].

Beispiel 2Example 2

Von einer molekularen Lösung von 50 mg Lycopin pro Liter Isopropanol wurden 5 ml mit 95 ml eines Gemisches aus 30 ml Wasser und 70 ml Isopropanol vermischt. Innerhalb von Sekunden bildeten sich H-Aggregate, die durch eine Farbverschiebung von orange nach gelb-orange direkt sichtbar wurden. Bei 10 minütiger Bestrahlung dieser Aggregat-Lösung in einer Bestrahlungsapparatur (Suntest®, Fa. Heraeus) war nur eine geringe Farbänderung zu beobachten. Die Bestrahlung einer Vergleichslösung von molekular gelöstem Lycopin (2,5 ppm Lycopin in Isopropanol) unter gleichen Bedingungen führte zu einer stärkeren Abnahme der Farbintensität. Durch Verdünnen und Erwärmen konnten die bestrahlten Lösungen in den molekular gelösten Zustand überführt und quantitativ analysiert werden. Das in der Lösung in Aggregatform vorliegende Lycopin war um den Faktor 1,5 stabiler als Lycopin in monomerer Form.From a molecular solution of 50 mg lycopene per liter of isopropanol were 5 ml with 95 ml of a mixture of 30 ml of water and 70 ml of isopropanol mixed. Formed within seconds H-aggregates, which are caused by a color shift from orange to yellow-orange were directly visible. With 10 minutes of radiation this aggregate solution in an irradiation apparatus (Suntest®, Heraeus) only a slight change in color was observed. The Irradiation of a reference solution of molecularly dissolved lycopene (2.5 ppm lycopene in isopropanol) under the same conditions led to a greater decrease in color intensity. By The irradiated solutions could be diluted and heated in the Molecularly dissolved state transferred and analyzed quantitatively become. The lycopene present in the solution in aggregate form was 1.5 times more stable than lycopene in monomeric form.
